IMPRESSIONS, STORIES FROM THE GATHERING 2019

In chronological order, here we would like to collect the positive or negative impressions of our participants, and their stories from the 29th Gather. As lessons for all interested.

I personally do not like words of praise or applause because there is no tangible benefit for us. In outsiders, they may rather cause dissatisfaction, and surely prevent them from reading them further.

However, we look forward to the summaries of the analytical, positive and negative aspects. Because by analyzing them we can see some of what happened in this edition. Who did participate at what sort of an event, what did someone live through and how did someone understand at our community experiment. Which, as an experimental field, is obviously full of defects, possible dead-end directions, but of course with much better-than-expected sections as well. Based on Your o, we can decide whether to accelerate or even slow down our community building processes.

We are diverse, we perceive and are sensitized in many different ways. We've heard a lot of opinions, stories told in spoken words, but unfortunately, they quickly faded into a whirlwind - we can only save these by putting them in writing. Or even by speaking in videos or telling us on Skype, we'd love to record them.

If we make it to the next year, we'll be 30 years old. In this connection, on the last day I began to collect memories and stories among those who had returned to us many times. Surprising, uproaring stories from the past appeared to me, which I have lived completely differently or not at all. Opinions related to films, concerts, surrounding athmospheres, personal connections, perhaps long-hidden impressions, love stories. We are looking for this event’s evolution of a beautiful age, of the festival still shaping the period after the regime change, becoming a gathering and we are trying to sum it up with your help. Let's start collecting in time before they’d vanish.

We are looking forward to receiving the photos, videos that we could publish and maybe add some comments.
